about

Trying to fight or speak out against this system is an energy draining battle. As hopeless as it might look sometimes: you/we/I need to keep on doing this if we don't want the conservative minds to take over.

lyrics

Gotta get away from these ideas that I don’t believe in.
Minds led astray - tricking us to believe there are better ways.
Yet this is what we have to work with.
I cannot walk away from this.

So I choose to stay.
Defend sanity and never give in to
mindsets that say their traditional views lead to better days.
Yet this is what we have to work with.
I cannot walk away from this.

And with the years these frustrations grow inside.
Misogyny is gaining ground in time.
Why do we crave to watch things burn and die?
Let the amount of doctrines ever rise?

Let’s throw away these beliefs and ancient sins.
Minds led astray believing what they say will be the righteous way.
Yet this is what we have to work with.
We cannot walk away from this.

Boreal dreams put into laws.
Filled with so many human flaws.

Let’s throw away these beliefs and ancient sins.
I will stay and never bend my will to them!
